Wondering About You Christian

With all the junk going on in our country I am just wondering why more people who claim to be Christian don't stand up for their God. I watch as gays, charlatans, abortionist, and even pedophiles stand up for their "beliefs" but I don't see Christians standing up for God's beliefs.

How do we elect the people we do as a Christian nation; the truth is most people calling themselves "Christian" are CINOs. What is a CINO you must be asking, it is similar to a WAC; CINO is Christian in Name Only and WAC is Worldly Astute Christian, in Christian language, lost people. I seen a sign:

 

If you truly believe in what this sign says then you are following the great deceiver, God is never changing and he hasn't changed on this; remember Sodom and Gomorrah? If you believe this picture, you are no more a Christian then Fred Phelps, any member of the Westboro Baptist Church, or the devil himself; I'm not saying this, it is from God's word. If you vote for people who believe in this, you just denied Christ; how many time have you denied him? We are to love these people, pray for these people, treat these people with respect even knowing the same respect will not be returned, but we are never to accept their actions as OK. It is everyone's own personal decision, which means it will be your personal choice to send yourself to Haven or Hell with no one else to blame; which will you choose?

What is the Church?

Before we get into the question of what is a church, we need to take a look at a few other questions that will help us narrow it down.

1.        Is the church a building?

2.        Is the church one person in the body?

3.        Is the church a preacher?

4.        Is the church a particular denomination?

5.        Is the church founded on ANY gift from God?

6.        Is the church better by the clothes the congregation wears?

7.        Is the church the financial or political standings?

8.        Is the church the Bible you carry?

9.        Is the church the music in it?

10.   Is the church the amount of people in it?

11.   Is the church based on a race, ethnic background, or gender?

12.  Is the church based on physical beauty?

13.  Is the church based on IQ?

14.  Should a church follow any other guidance then the Bible and The holy Spirit from God?

If you answered yes to ANY of these questions, you need to take a step back and discover God’s more and stop listening to your own desires. Rich, wise (in the world), intelligent, beautiful, and well dressed people are burning in hell right now because they “thought” they were saved and following God’s will; the truth was, they were following their own arrogance, but still we need to ask, "what is a church?"

How many times have you walked into a church and found yourself right in the middle of a fashion show? Some of the vainest displays of arrogance are in the “church”.  It could be a member, usher, deacon, choir leader, or even the pastor. Have you ever had a member of the largest church in town come up and say, “I belong to the church of ________” with arrogance?  Do you think this was pleasing to God? NO!

One of the best-executed attacks the Devil has made with great success on the true church is the separation of the church. The Lord Jesus has HIS “church” separated by MAN’S denominations, doctrines, and church perversions. Many of our cities and churches have become modern day Sodom’s and Gomorrah’s as well as racist venues. So many churches are so busy fight each other that they forget that the real fight is with the Devil. If you do not believe in the Holy Bible as a whole, then you are perverting God’s Holy Word. 

“Rev. 22: 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19.  And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”

This verse leaves little doubt to your judgment if you "take away or add" to the verses in the Bible. Many of the people in these churches are stuck so deep in the paradigm of the teaching of a particular denomination, what they don’t realize is they are actually in a cult, not a church of God. If your “church” only reads a verse or two of a passage, and does not put it into context with the whole passage, they are perverting the word of God; It all comes back to what is a church. If you read the Bible:

“1 Cor. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.  28.  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29.  Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30.  Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31.  But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.” 

It states we are all the body of Christ and all have different gifts and/or jobs in God’s plan. The unfortunate problem is the body of Christ has cancer in it. The cancer of doctrine, denominations, of vainness, and arrogance, racism (yes you herd me), and cults. Yes God’s body does have this but he can clean it away any time we ask him to with a true heart for him. When you have cancer the doctors on the earth try to burn it away with chemotherapy and radiation; ever wonder why hell is so hot? We have the power to turn the "Church back into our "Saviors" church or you can keep doing the devils work; the choice is yours.

Why Christian?

I am sitting here thinking, “Why Christian” to a lot of questions that for a true Christian should be common sense and in a Christian country should be second nature, but only if you follow God, the Bible, and the conviction of the Holy Spirit. If you are truly a Christian, you must agree and realize that God is never changing and doesn't make mistakes. His reasoning is beyond our comprehension and methods are unperceivable to us; this is why I have to ask” Why Christian?” These questions do have answers, many of these questions may be offensive if you are not following God; your conviction is will let you know.

What about our Christian walk?

Why Christian, in America where 78% of our citizens claim to be Christian, is our Christian rights being attacked daily without a massive uprising?

Why Christian, do we allow and condone the murder of thousands of God's children (abortion) every year, with these procedures being performed on Christian by people calling themselves Christian?

Why Christian, do we allow and condone leaders in churches who openly perform un-Christian perverted sexual acts to have positions of authority in our churches or denominations and say we are following Christ?

Why Christian, if we are following God’s teachings and the Bible, is the Christian divorce rate just a few percentage points behind 49% that of the secular worlds 52%?

Why Christian, have you perverted God’s word so much that 50%+ of denominations preach blasphemy when compared with the Bible and many "Christians" have not read the Bible enough to know?

Why Christian, do we that claim to be Christian, but we don’t support our church with tithes or time, as the Bible directs?

Why Christian, do you apply Biblical principals on Sunday at church but not to your work ethics the rest of the week, instead applying the principals of the world?

Why Christian, do we have preachers that care more about the Dr. I front of their name than the title Reverend, Father, or Pastor given by God?

Why Christian, do we have fashion shows in church every Sunday and scorn, ridicule, and belittled those who can’t meet “our” standards of dress?

Why Christian, do you not invite some one of a different race or financial standing, especially if they are struggling to have dinner, a night out, or even an anonymous vacation on you, if God has blessed you with the ability?

Why Christian, do we help people who are needy in our own congregation but will never go outside your congregational doors or to other churches or denominations who also need help?

Why Christian, do we take actions claiming  "it is the will of God" when we know it is our own selfish will?

What about politics?

Why Christian, do we allow the US Constitution to be pervert and allow attacks on the same amendment which says churches have freedom of speech and will not be restricted yet let the politicians say "you must have separation of Church and State" when it actually say you can’t have a state founded church, not separation of Church and state?

Why Christian, are we not replacing our politicians, Republican and Democrat, who are voting for everything anti-Christian and are against the Biblical principals which are the guidance for Christians.

Why Christian, in a land that is for the people is the highest seat in the nation only obtainable by the richest people, some of which claim to be Christian but their action show the truth and we know they are not?

Why Christian, have we went from setting goals to help our children achieve their potentials to holding them down with the ones that wish to achieve nothing?

Why Christian, would your everyday actions be totally different if Jesus was walking with you in the flesh?

Why Christian, won’t we come out in force to vote and let everyone know that Christian’s following God’s teachings do have a strong and united voice?

Why Christian, do we vote for the political party we grew up with instead of the candidate that is doing God’s bidding?

Blasphemy

What is Blasphemy? If you look it up in Webster’s is states,

“1. Impious or irreverent utterance or action concerning God or sacred things. 2. The crime of assuming to oneself the right or equalities to God.” Blasphemous states “uttering, containing, or exhibiting blasphemy; irreverent; profane, defaming, speaking evil, harm. Evil speaking” Blaspheme states “1. To speak impiously (un Godly) or irreverently of God or sacred things. 2. To speak evil of; slander. 3. To speak irrelevantly of God or sacred things; utter impieties.”

How many people today especially preachers, pastors, deacons, bishops, lay people, youth leaders, praise leaders, and many other in power do this daily? If we could get a statistical chart from God, I think we would be shocked. I’ve heard many non-Christians do this but they do not know Jesus or have an idea of the consequence. I’ve also heard many Christians do it and they should know the truth and judgment. Make no mistake about it, there will be a judgment!

Psalm 74:18 states, “Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Lord that the foolish people have blaspheme thy name.” If you are blaspheming the Lord, God or worse, the Holy Spirit, you stand in chance to not be written in the Lamb’s Book. “Mark 4: 28. For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29. But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.''  

If you preach anything that goes against the Bible (God’s Holy Word), you are speaking impiously. In Layman’s terms, you just blasphemed! Many people try and bend or make God’s word into gray areas even when every subject mentioned in it, is very black and white. These subjects include but not limited to pre-marital sex, abortion, homosexuality, gossip, (he is against these) to tithes and many others. Remember what Webster’s said,

“1. To speak impiously (un Godly) or irreverently of God or sacred things. 2. To speak evil of; slander.”     

If you aren’t teaching God’s word, by his leading, but by men or denominational leading instead, you are blaspheming.

“Psalms 74: 18.  Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O Lord, And that a foolish people has blasphemed your name.”

Many of you are very blessed that the old rules are not enforced on the blasphemers as they were in Moses’ time. If they were in effect to day, one thing is for sure; you wouldn’t have all these churches blasphemous teachings saying homosexuality, abortion, premarital sex, and many others topics are ok with God.

“Leviticus 24: 11.  And the Israelite woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord and cursed; and so they brought him to Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.) 12.  Then they put him in custody, that the mind of the Lord might be shown to them. 13.  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 14.  "Take outside the camp him who has cursed; then let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 15.  "Then you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: `Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin. 16.  `And whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him, the stranger as well as him who is born in the land. When he blasphemes the name of the Lord, he shall be put to death.”

God’s word has no place for political redrick or man’s agendas. Don't get me wrong, all Christians who are called should seek political office, if there were more true Christians in office our country wouldn't be in the trouble it is in. If you are in a church that teaches items contrary to God's word, or back politicians that support items contrary to God's word, leave that church and find one that is true to God. It is up to you to stand for the truth. If you don’t stand for God and his truth, you stand for the Satan and his lies. Which do you choose?

Gossip

Let us talk a minute about a subject that many people really do not fully comprehend; gossip.  Many people (Christian included) gossip everyday and many truly believe that they are not gossiping.  Webster’s Dictionary defines gossip as “a person who habitually retails facts, rumors, or behind the scenes information of an intimate, personal, or sensational nature.”  Gossip as said by Webster’s “of an intimate, personal, or sensational nature” is also; allot of times, not true.  Even if it is and you are a Christian, the Bibles tell you how to act about the subject. 

PROV. 20:19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.  PROV. 11:13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.  1 TIM 5:13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

The Bible is direct on what it says about gossip but so many times people (Christians included) try to lift themselves up at the expense of others.  Another good verse for this subject is:

Exodus 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor’s.  Still as I say this some gossips are sitting there saying “I don’t gossip, I know they need prayer so I’m just telling others”. 

If you are getting defensive about this than maybe, you should look at your motivation for passing this information on.  You need to really search your heart and ask God to show the truth, if you are doing it for his will and to help one of his children, or for your own gain.  When you do this there are a couple of verses to remember;

PSALM 139:4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, Lord, thou knowest it all together.

PROV 15:2-4 2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness 3 the eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good 4 the wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

Now sense he knows every word on our tongues, don’t you think he knows the reason behind the words? 

What are the effects of gossip?

JAMES 3:5-8 5 even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things Behold, how great a mater a little fire kindleth. 6 and the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire a course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, and of serpent, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind. 8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil full of deadly poison.  PROV. 25:23 The north wind drivith away rains, so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.  PROV 10:20 The tongue of the just is like choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.  PROV. 17:20 He that hath a forward heart findith no good: and he that hath a perverse tongue fallith into mischief. 

The Bible tells you what will happen; do you remember who is the great deceiver?  That is probably why we can’t see our faults in the area.  Satan has blinded us, slid one by us, or distracted us so we are not seeing the truth.  We can destroy people, our families, and worst of all God’s church and word by gossip.  If you have the unsaved children of God looking at us and seeing a bunch of backbiters, do you think they would be seeing a good example? NO! We need to show them the truth about what Christians should do.  To get the truth we need to turn to the only source of truth, God.  Ask God and he will let you know where we are faltering, but you must ask him with a humble heart. 

PROV. 21:6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death. 

We have the chance to lead the lost to Christ. 

PSALM 140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips Selah. 

The more you gossip the better you get, the better you get the more damage you can do to someone or to God’s church.  Are we as Christians suppose to inflict damage on anyone of our own doing?  What do you think God would want?  We do have benefits of controlling our gossiping tongue.

PROV. 21:23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from trouble. 

The Bible tells us that we keep our souls from trouble.  If your soul has ever had trouble, this is enough in it is own to make it worth while.  You may ask, “What if I’m attacked verbally?”  

PSALM 39:1 I said I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

We are to hold our tongues because that old saying still stands “two wrongs don’t make a right”.  Our tongue was not made to do these evil things; our tongue was made for one true purpose. 

PSALM 119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all the commandments are righteous. PHIL 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

We are to praise God with our tongue and do what is right in his eyes.  I want to strive to please him all the time I have on earth.  I know I will fail because I’m not perfect, but the more sinning I stop myself from doing though his power (like gossiping); the more I will please him.  That should be what we are all striving for, his glory, not ours.

Are You a Vessels of God?

So many people try to use God, Jesus, & religion as vessels to get what they want instead of what God wants; we were all created to be vessels of God, not vise-versa. I always say you need to check out what anyone, including a preacher says with the Bible; If the preacher or person is following God what they say and the Bible says will not be contradictory. I don’t think God made us to dishonor him but he leaves the choice to us and too many times we do just that dishonor him.

Acts 9: 15. But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.

Cor 4: 6. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9. Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

This kind of seals the door on if we are vessels of God. Are you doing his work and will, or yours? We are vessels of God. We were meant to be for God’s work but unfortunately not all vessels do their intended purpose.

Romans 9:21-23. 21. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. 23. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.

How many times have you seen a school bus used for a house, an oil drum for a grill, tires for a swing or flowerbed? Are these their intended purpose? No, what about people who use the Bible verses to achieve their goals instead of God’s?

Gal. 1 6. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7. Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

How many TV preachers have you seen go down in flames, TV is an excellent way to reach many who are loss or home bound but it also brings many snares, traps, and temptations. Jesus lived a humble life and said do the same but how many TV preachers themselves are worth millions? How many of them are putting on a well-orchestrated show instead of a God led sermon; I can guarantee you that every one that has fell either didn’t really know God or forgot their responsibilities, purpose and was trying to achieve their Goals instead of Gods. Now I ask you, do you know why they fell? Are you on the same course? There are also many "Reverends" which you see on TV spewing hatred and when caught in a misjudgment will never apologize saying they were wrong, if they do it is never with the same fervor as when they falsely accused against someone; this is the same action as was committed against Jesus.

Did you know that there are “Christian” religions that preach you can become a God, how many preach that you can get to heaven by works alone, and how many denominations add or delete verses from the Bible to tailor it for their own agenda? What does the Bible say about this?

Rev 22: 18. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city and from the things which are written in this book.

This spells it out according to the Bible, if you don’t agree, you might want to find out what is your motivation; you will see that it isn’t God’s will but yours. So, are you a vessel doing what God designed you to do, or not? God did send a vessel to deliver us, which was his son the Lord Jesus Christ. We all belong to God and are his vessels, yes all of us are broken, cracked, and damaged but he loves us and we can still be used by him for his meant purpose. The problem lies with us (his vessels) not doing their intended purpose, we are to spread his light and apply our strengths and gifts he has given us to carry out the great commission. Are we all doing what God’s vessels was design to do; no, instead we are doing what the devil wants in a lot of cases; instead of being humble and thanking God for what he has given us, we go on thinking WE are the reason we have succeeded. It’s amazing that most atheist use evolution as the means to say God doesn’t exist but Darwin himself after reviewing his work and finding that evolution (as a beginning) was an impossibility said, “This is just the ramblings of a foolish man”. He had to check it out to make sure it couldn’t have happened that way and he did, this was his job, but many people have left the last part of his study out, the conclusion. We also have a job commanded of us by God. If you have became so ridged that you have forgotten about what mercy is you need to think about it, if you can’t show mercy to help others, why should God have mercy on you? If you are on TV using the Bible and God to line your pockets, you need to think about it; the preachers and teachers will be held accountable. If someone were swindling you, what would you want to do?

Matt 18: 23. "Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24. "And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. 25. "But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. 26. "The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, `Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' 27. "Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. 28. "But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, `Pay me what you owe!' 29. "So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, `Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' 30. "And he would not, but went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. 31. "So when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were very grieved, and came and told their master all that had been done. 32. "Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, `You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. 33. `Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?' 34. "And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.

What type of vessel was the first servant; he was a perfect vessel unto all of us, we are vessels that can do good or evil, God’s work or the Devil’s, and can have compassion or be a ridged person but it is all our choice. What type of vessel are you?

Christians and Our Big Problems

 

We are presently in the failing of mankind, you may ask what do I mean by the failing of mankind, we live in the United States. It has to do with history which somehow man keeps repeating and this time (or so it seems) it is the United States’ turn because we didn’t learn. No matter what your beliefs are, this country was founded on God and his principles, this is documented all through our founding documents and their writings no matter how much the secular media twists, distorts and lie about it. The foundation of our great country is Christianity, and we have several groups which want to change the truth, of God’s influence on building this great nation for their worldly views. This will bring the downfall of our great nation if they succeed which due to our non-action is happening. One of the best ways to demonstrate what I am talking about is to compare the Beatitudes with the World Attitudes. The beatitudes are found at Matthew 5: 3-12.

Beatitude 1:

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

World Attitude 1:

Blessed are the rich in worldly goods, for their kingdoms they think is heaven (condemning themselves to Hell).

Beatitude 2:

Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

World Attitude 2:

Blessed are they who inflict pain, for they shall need no comforted (or receive it as there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth).

Beatitude 3:

Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth.

World Attitude 3:

Blessed are the worldly, for they shall possess the earthly good (which they can’t take now where will there soul go)?

Beatitude 4:

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied.

World Attitude 4:

Blessed are they who fort and undermined justice, for they shall never be punished (until the judgment day).

Beatitude 5:

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

World Attitude 5:

Blessed are the merciful less, for they shall obtain no mercy (on earth or by God).

Beatitude 6:

Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.

World Attitude 6:

Blessed are the corrupt of heart, for they shall be their own God (and condemned for eternity).

Beatitude 7:

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

World Attitude 7:

Blessed are the peace breakers, for they shall be seen as Gods (and lead others to Hell as well).

Beatitude 8:

Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

World Attitude 8:

Blessed are they who inflict persecution, injustice and forsake, for theirs is the kingdom of earth (and damnation will follow).

Now that you have read the Beatitudes and World Attitudes, which are you following; are we as “Christians” doing what God has called us to do or are we following the world? What are the problems with Christians? Did you know when it comes to Christianity, there are three basic groups calling themselves Christian? One of the first two groups will be the one to turn most people who need saving away from God and his church through their arrogant attitudes.

We have what I like to call Relational Christians. These are people claiming to be because they or their family have always went to church. They do not follow any of the commandments and rules or have any conviction of what they are doing as wrong. They may attempt to pray when required and only asks for forgiveness when they are caught or in a bind. They have no idea at all what Christianity is about and have never been close to being saved. They are found in all denominations including Catholic, Baptist, Church of Christ and any other you want to pick; without change, they are condemned to hell.

There is another group I call Worldly or Practicing Christians. They do everything on Sunday and/or if they know someone is watching; they do to a degree follow biblical teachings or at lease on Sunday. Any works they do, they do out of fear and the delusions that they may be able to work their way into Heaven. They have a checklist with areas that need marked to complete the tasks needed to get to Heaven. They follow out of fear of God instead of obedience. They do what is right because they have been taught to do so and do not have a conviction from the Holy Spirit. They do what they do out of fear and they only do enough to get in to Heaven. They have an idea what Christianity is about but it’s not from God. They still think of themselves first instead of God and have never been saved even though they do realize what it is to be saved. These are the ones who force daughters to have abortions or they send them away to have a baby because it wouldn't "reflect" too well on their image. Without change, they too are also condemned to hell.

The last group is True or Professing Christians. They act out of obedience, they read, and study the Bible out of desire to become closer with God. They share their faith without remorse and even when faced with difficult decisions, almost always does what is right. They do make mistakes and have a conviction from the Holy Spirit when they do but they true desire is to serve God out of love and obedience instead of fear. They will go to Heaven.

We are said to be a nation of 75% of Christians but if we were following Christ, we wouldn't be having the problems we are having. We wouldn't be picking politicians who outwardly support none of our Biblical values and would be putting true Christians into office. How can we be a nation of Christians and support any candidate, Democrat or Republican, who supports abortion, the destruction of Biblical Marriage, or the taking of our freedoms bestowed on us from God. We need to come out of our Biblical closet and turn this nation back to what the Founding Fathers created and dedicated to God. Some of you are saying "that is impossible" then you are not believers; true believers know with God on your side, nothing is impossible; are you a true believer or a want a be Christian.

Preaching Prejudice

In what is a preacher, pastor, priest or any other leader who confesses to be Christian to honor or abide? They are to follow Jesus, the Bible, and the Holy Spirit of course, neither will contradict each other. So what does the Bible say about the leaders of our church?

1 Cor  9:16.  For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel! 17.  For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have been entrusted with a stewardship. 18.  What is my reward then? That when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel.

So if I read this correct, I am not to be preaching with arrogance and judgment will come on me if I do not preach the truth. I must preach the unchanged word and not abuse my authority?

There are many suppose to be “Christians Preachers” that are preaching hate and chaos to further their “political agenda” instead of following what God’s word and the Holy Spirit. These “preachers” (I use the term loosely because they are deceivers, not preachers of God) are in all races and genders.

Martin Luther King said, “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that ALL MEN are created equal." God says we are all his children so why do we have “preachers preaching prejudices? THEY ARE NOT FOLLOWING GOD!!!

We have a black president in the white house. There is three items to observe about this man in this position. Should anyone be allowed to be president? If you want to discriminate against this man for being black or Gov. Palin for being a woman, you are not following God. If you voted for or against this man solely because he is black, you are a racist. If you voted for him and you claim you are a Christian, I would check your faith because of what he does and his preacher says. Why do I say that? I don’t the Bible does.

You can tell if someone is a Christian by the fruit they bear and what they follow. His “Preacher”, Mr. Wright, uses God’s name in vain while preaching, treated whites as cause for all wrong, and pushes agendas directly contradicting God’s word. Prejudice is prejudice no matter which group is displaying it. A true Christian will not sit and listen to a prejudice preacher no matter their race; anyone staying to listening to Mr. Wright and/or agreeing with him, or agreeing with the New Black Panthers are not a Christian just like anyone a part of the Aryan Nation or the KKK are not Christians. We need to pray for them because they are truly lost in the darkness but they do not follow God.

We as Christians need to elect more Christians into political office and get rid of the filth that it currently hold these positions. I don’t care if they are white, black, Spanish, Asian, male or female as long as they are a true, God believing Christian. We need to clean up God’s churches and get back to the God’s truth because most preachers today are not following God. Let me give you some good hints on telling if a preacher is following God or if they are out for themselves. If he refuses with his tax free organization to tell where his financial backing is coming from and how much it has, he probably isn’t following God; a preacher of God will not have anything to hide. The only reason to hide is for the same reason Adam & Eve did, because they were sinning. If a “preacher” seams to always be for one particular group (minority, majority, men, women, rich, poor, etc), he is probably not for God. You can see “preachers” on TV all the time saying, “that group is discriminating against us because we are ….” You fill in the blank. Didn’t they just stereotype “that group? God says we are all brothers & sisters, not just someone that looks like us.

So why do you think these “preachers” are this way? I’ll give you a hint, THEY AREN’T FOLLOWING GOD!!! If they aren’t following God, then whom do they following? The only one left is Satan. Martin Luther King also said, “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged BY THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN BUT BY THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER”. There is a lot of truth in this statement about how we should live as Christians. Why should we allow, buy or support TV shows, magazines, collage funds, that judge you by “the color of your skin” and not the “content of your character”. I know by making these statements that I may be labeled as prejudice or I just don’t understand someone’s view point. Well I am not prejudice and I do understand they are not following God but the devil. These people are sinning against God because even though they won’t want to admit it, they are prejudice. Martin Luther King also stated “I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and ALL FLESH SHALL SEE IT TOGETHER”. When he talks about “all flesh shall see it together” do you think he means only blacks, whites, or any other race by themselves, or do you think he means all races together? God wants all races.  

You may wonder why I have quoted Martin Luther King. This speech has so many statements which could have been spoken strait from God’s view. Too many of the “preachers” I have seen quoting it on TV, are quoting it but not hearing it; even ones who personally knew him. If Martin Luther King were here today he would be appalled at how far some blaspheming “preachers”, many of whom walked with him, have twisted the enlightening words he spoke on this day. I have one more quote from Martin Luther King but instead of reading it and quoting it; you need to hear it in your heart. This is what God wants. “When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when ALL OF GOD’S CHILDREN, BLACK MEN AND WHITE MEN, JEWS AND GENTILES’ PROTESTANTS AND CATHOLICS, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

The only way to truly know if your preacher is following God or the world is to look where their treasures are stored. If they are following the agenda from the left, pushing abortion and the gay marriage, they are not a Christian. If they live a self exalted life, with the million dollar mansion, they are not a Christian. If they do not preach about Heaven and Hell both, and stand up for Christian rights over any race, gender or political party, they are not a Christian. The last census said 75% of Americans are Christian, if this is true there should be no problem getting are nation back to receiving God's blessing, we just need to have Christians running for office and Christians voting for them; unless you think God like some of you is preaching prejudice.

Dividing God

When there is only one true God and one truth why is there so many different denominations?  The only answer is because of human pride, arrogance and denial of God’s truth.  This compromises God’s work and leads us not closer to God and his will, but further away from God and his will. There are literally hundreds of ways we do this daily and it’s mainly because we don’t read his word.

Too many people sit in church on Sunday and listen to their preacher without ever taking out the Bible to check the accuracy of the sermon.  I have heard many times the comment, “well the preacher said it, so it must be true” or “that’s not how we interpret it”!  These are two ways of saying “I’m too lazy to look it up“and “I don’t want to do that because of my human pride, arrogance and denial of God’s truth”. This has nothing to do with how you worship, if you praise God standing on you head, as long as it is sincere and from your heart that is what matters.  What we are talking about is the unalienable truth the Bible has, that we try and change because it offends us.  I would be more worried about offending God if I were you.  I am going to point out some of these truths and please look up the verses in the Bible and if you’re still offended, your master may not be God.

First, does God make mistakes?  Of course the answer is no.  Is every one of our lives a blessing?  Of course the answer is yes.  Than why do you have people who claim to be Christians, supporting abortion?  The sad truth is their pride.  (Num. 35:30 Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: Gen. 9:6 15 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man, Ex 23:7 "Keep yourself far from a false matter; do not kill the innocent and righteous. For I will not justify the wicked 8.  "And you shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the discerning and perverts the words of the righteous. Deu 19:10.  "lest innocent blood be shed in the midst of your land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, and thus bloodguiltiness be upon you. Deu 21:9.  "So you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you when you do what is right in the sight of the Lord. Deu 27:25.  `Cursed is the one who takes a bribe to slay an innocent person.' And all the people shall say, `Amen!' Pro 6: 16. These six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 17.  A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18.  a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, 19.  a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren. Is 59:7.  Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. Jer 22: 16.  He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this knowing Me?'' says the Lord. 17.  "Yet your eyes and your heart are for nothing but your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, and practicing oppression and violence.'' Of course some out there will say something like, “well that Old Testament and the Law we are no longer under, not the New Testament” for them “Matt 5: 17.  "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.”  This is only one of many examples. Remember that God is never changing.

I will give one more example sense both of these are highly debated in the church today. How about talking about homosexuality? Can you be an active homosexual and preacher for God? (Lev 18: 22. You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. Lev 20: 13.  `If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them. Rom 1: 22.  Professing to be wise, they became fools 23. and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man and birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things. 24.  Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25.  who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26.  For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27.  Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 28.  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29.  being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30.  backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31.  undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32.  who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.) This comes from New and Old Testaments so there should be no confusion, its wrong!  Of course every time someone says that they are called a “homophobic” or worse. I have nothing against homosexuals personally but the ones who wear it on their chest as a badge of honor are lost and condemned.  These are just two examples of “Christians & Christianity” gone badly. 

There are too many examples to point out but the bottom line is, are you following God’s truth or skewing his truth to make yourself more comfortable because you don’t want to face the truth? You can see this in churches that take a single verse for their point instead of the whole paragraph to keep the verse in context because it doesn’t fit their doctrine. I have seen these churches on both the far liberal side and in some cases the far conservative side.  Don’t read what’s not there, I am a very conservative person but some people, churches, denominations, and preachers preach what is not there. For instance, I was told at one church if you didn’t speak in tongues you’re not saved.  If this is true why did God make it the lesser of all gifts? Jesus does say what we should believe “Jer 9:3.  "And like their bow they have bent their tongues for lies. They are not valiant for the truth on the earth. For they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know Me,'' says the Lord.” You have many preachers saying that the wine in the Bible is actually grape juice. If this was true than how did Noah become drunk off grape juice “Gen 9: 20.  And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.  21. Then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent.” These people are perverting the Bible and usually become very angry when you point it out, but the Bible does say don’t become drunken “Luke 21: 34.  But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. Rom 13: 13.  Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in licentiousness and lewdness, not in strife and envy and Gal 5: 19.  Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, 20. idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21.  envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”.  This is not saying for everyone to start drinking.  If you have a conviction not to drink, don’t!

I will give you one last example that I saw. A gentleman walked into the church I was visiting and was wearing sandals when he was stopped by the preacher who told him, “we would prefer it if you wear shoes here”. The man promptly answered without delay saying, “Sandals were good enough for Jesus, are they not good enough for you?”  The preacher didn’t know what to say and the sermon that day was about using the Bible to discern man’s standards from God’s.  We as Christian people need to start coming back together as one church and do God’s will, there is nothing wrong with having different ways to worship but there is only one God and his word is never changing.  What do you think?
